“We may not have chosen the time, but the time has chosen us.” — John Lewis
Politics, sports, entertainment, books, travel, food — not necessarily in that order.
100%. If you support this administration, you're a white supremacist. Full stop.
To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

WELKER: His asylum was approved in April on Trump's watch. Was there a vetting process in place?

NOEM: The vetting process all happened under Biden

WELKER: Are you saying he wasn't vetted?

NOEM: Vetting happens when they come into the country and that was completely abandoned under Biden

“Checks and balances” replaced with “I trust Dear Leader implicitly”
Markwayne Mullin defends Trump pardoning Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking: "What the president is doing is always calculated. I haven't had a direct conversation with the president about it, but I do trust his natural reaction and his approach to foreign affairs."

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Kevin’s likely correct — unseasoned generic turkeys probably do taste the same as unseasoned branded turkeys.
Kevin Hassett: "Turkey prices were down 19 cents. I bought two different ones because some other show was criticizing me because I said, 'Oh, generic turkeys are pretty good.' So I made two this time and I didn't really notice the difference, so buy the cheaper turkey next year, folks."

“If Donald Trump was a white supremacist how would his policies differ?” is a rhetorical question no one asks because we all know the answer to the question and what it means. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Trump isn’t just racist — he — and acting president Stephen Miller — are overt white supremacists pushing a white supremacist agenda on America.

Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media

Yes it’s pathetic. It’s also an attack on the First Amendment. It’s also stochastic terrorism.

Impeach.
The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.

The “oh, that’s just Donald Trump being Donald Trump” coverage from the mainstream media continues — to our peril.
This seems like the kind of declaration by a U.S. president that should be mentioned *somewhere* on the front page of CNN or the NY Times, but the fact that it isn't (as of right now) tells us so much both about how this president is covered and the credibility of the U.S. government.
Might be kicking off.

We can’t pretend there’s some magical plain talk that coverts a sizable portion of America when a vast right wing propaganda machine dominates the information ecosystem.
I maintain that if Democrats could learn to talk with one-half of the plain spoken moral sense of Republicans who have turned on Trump, like this Indiana Republican who refuses to redistrict on the president’s command, they’d win 400 electoral votes dailyjournal.net/2025/11/26/s...

“Misleading. Biased. Exposed,” the site reads.

Donald Trump doesn’t GAF about narco-crime. No one should allow him to use that to excuse his mass murders in international waters.

Trump is the president who pushed this racist stunt of having National Guard members in DC. The blood is on his hands.

President Donald Trump is blaming the Biden administration for this week’s shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, in part by insisting that the suspect, a 29-year-old Afghan, was among millions of foreigners Biden allowed into the US without proper vetting.

Correct. A distant second is the first Trump administration. There’s no close third.
This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

Any Trump policy claiming to be driven by a crackdown on illegal drugs is a lie.
President Trump said he will pardon former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted in a U.S. court of trafficking drugs to the U.S., and threw his support behind a conservative Honduran presidential candidate.
